Descendants of Robert Anderson
Generation No. 1
1. The Immigrant Robert4 Anderson (Richard3, "York
Watershed"2, "Colonial Virginia"1) was
born 1613 in Great Britain, and died Aft. 1666 in New Kent County,
Virginia. He married ? Bartelot. She was born Abt. 1620, and died Aft. 1664
in New Kent County, Virginia.
Notes for The
Immigrant Robert Anderson:
Robert Anderson, "the
immigrant" was born in Great Britain in 1613. Hottens Emigrants by John
Camden Hotten provides us with the fact that Robert Anderson, age 22, embarked
in "Ann & Elizabeth" April 27, 1635 for Virginia. In York County
Wills & Deeds on 12/3/1657 Robert
Andrewson is listed as a juror. In the sources discussed below; Robert
Anderson, Sr. of New Kent is credited as being born between 1640 and 1645 and
his family is known to use the name Bartelot Anderson. In a 1694 York County
deposition Bartelot Anderson and his brother John Anderson testify that they
are 36 and 30 years old, thus born in 1658 and 1664. The land of Robert Anderson
is listed in the Virginia Patents as adjacent Moyses Davies at Tottopottomoyes
Creek in 1666. Robert Anderson, the immigrant then likely had sons Robert
Anderson, Sr. of York then New Kent, Bartelot Anderson of York, and John
Anderson of York and New Kent County.
_______________
This family has been researched for
genealogical purposes since 1881. A Mr. Brock wrote several newspaper articles
in the 1880's. Edward L. Anderson wrote
the earliest book on the Robert Anderson family and published "The Andersons
of Goldmine" which can be found in the Library of Congress. In 1936 William Pope Anderson began a
re-work of the Robert Anderson family and documented that Robert Anderson,Sr.
of New Kent County arrived in what is now Hanover county between 1670 and 1677
as one of 80 persons transported to Virginia by charter to George Chapman by
William Berkeley, Governor.
In the mid 20th century Nell Marion
Nugent published her index of the Virginia Land Patents including volume:
Cavaliers and Pioneers, Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants,
1623-1666, Nell Marion Nugent, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore,
Maryland, 1983. My examination in 1980's of Cavaliers and Pioneers revealed
that there is a patent record in 1666 that shows Robert Anderson was an
adjacent landholder to Moses Davies at Totopotomys Creek in the delta of the
Pamunkey River at the head of the York River, an arm of the Chesapeake Bay. In
addition a Robert Anderson appears in York County records as a jurist on
December 3, 1657. It is very likely
then that Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent County had been a resident of and
been born in Virginia. Additional records would be available except that after
Gloucester County was formed from York it's records were destroyed in an 1820
fire and the details of land purchases and wills along the north bank of the
York River and at the mouth of the Pamunkey have been lost to that fire. The most significant loss is how Robert
Anderson obtained his land at Totopotomys Creek.
If the family tradition of Edward L.
Anderson in "The Andersons of Gold Mine" and repeated in "Ye Andersons of Virginia", pages
231- 288, Volume 11, Old Northwest Genealogical Quarterly, Columbus, Ohio,
1908; are correct, Robert's father may be the Reverend Richard Anderson,
mentioned in 1640's and 1650's York County, Viriginia Court Records. "Burke's American Families With
British Ancestry" (Genealogical Pub. Co., Baltimore, 1977) p.2539;
Excerpted from "Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed
Gentry," 16th ed. (London, 1939) contends that Robert Anderson, Sr. of New
Kent probably descended from Richard Anderson who left England for the colonies
4 Jul 1635, being then aged 17, and was followed on 31 Jul of the same year by
Richard Anderson, aged 50, who was presumably his father. The presumption is
then that Richard Anderson age 17 in 1635 is the same as the Reverend Richard
Anderson of York County VA and that he is the father of Robert Anderson, Sr. of
New Kent. The ancestors of Robert
Anderson, Sr. of New Kent given in these sources are very speculative,
unsubstantiated by record and there are some conflicts between several authors'
publications.
York County Wills
& Deeds
12/3/1657 Robert Anderson is listed as a Juror
Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent County
should have been born by 1636 to qualify as a jurist in 1657. Indeed it would
have been unusual to have a 21 year old on a jury. It is also unlikely that an
established resident of New Kent County would be a juror in York County.
This 1657 record suggests that there was
an earlier generation of Robert Anderson living in York County and only
recorded the once in the York County records. Hottens Emigrants by John Camden
Hotten provides us with the fact that Robert Anderson, age 22, embarked in "Ann
& Elizabeth" April 27, 1635 for Virginia. With the scarcety of surviving records and the fact that most of
those surviving records pertain to land ownership it is entirely possible that
Robert Anderson, Sr.'s father was the Robert Anderson (b.1613) of the Ann &
Elizabeth and and could be claimed to be the father of Robert, Bartelot and
John of York County Records. Robert
Anderson, Sr. of New Kent County may not have been born until as late as
1645-1650.
By adding this ancestor I am of course
creating another vague and unreliable possibility for the parentage of Robert
Anderson, Sr. of New Kent County. I am doing so deliberately just to emphasize
how easy it is to contrive another lineage. My claim is supported by just 3
records. The published claims that Robert descends from Richard Anderson
(b.1585) and his alleged son Reverend Richard Anderson are even more contrived
and are unsubstantiated by any Virginia record that I have found as of 2003.
From the Virginia land
patents
1666 Robert Anderson adjacent Moyses Davies
at Tottopottomoyes Creek
1670 Robert Anderson adjacent John Fleming
& Thomas Glass
These two records indicate that a Robert
Anderson already owned land along Tottopottomoyes Creek before 1666. Totopotomy's Creek flows into the Pamunkey
River from the south in the eastern part of what is now Hanover County
Virginia. While these notations refer
to lands significantly upstream along the Pamunkey River it is a reported
tradition that Robert Anderson had as his early primary residence properties at
West Point near the junction of the Pamunkey, Mattaponi and York Rivers. The western lands near Totopotomey's Creek
were speculative and in the interests of his growning sons.
The 1666 record is the first that we can
soundly connect to Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent County, as this land can be
traced in his possession. Whether this record is of his ownership, or that of
his father we do not know. Bartlet
Anderson of York County was born in 1658 and his brother by record John
Anderson of York County was born in 1664. This suggests that this elder Robert
Anderson of the 1657 record was still alive at or near the time of the 1666
record.
By accepting this earlier Robert
Anderson (b.1613) of York County as the father of the Robert Anderson, Sr. of
New Kent we relax the burden on having Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent being
born early enough (ca1636) to be the jurist and late enough to be a son of the
immigrant Richard Anderson of 1635 (ca 1636) which in fact leaves only that
year 1636 in which he could have been born and still be the source of these
entries in the Virginia Records. Having this one man be the source of these
records would make him older by another 5 years than anyone has claimed to
date.
For this reason I contend as above that
Robert Anderson, of York County, "the immigrant" was born in Great
Britain in 1613 as found in Hottens Emigrants by John Camden Hotten. Robert
Anderson, age 22, embarked in "Ann & Elizabeth" April 27, 1635
for Virginia. Robert Anderson settled in York County, Virginia and as appears
in York County Wills & Deeds on 12/3/1657 Robert Andrewson at the age of 44
was a Juror. Robert Anderson had as his early primary residence properties at
West Point near the junction of the Pamunkey, Mattaponi and York Rivers. The western lands in New Kent County he
obained by 1666 near Totopotomey's Creek were speculative and in the interests
of his growning sons. I attribute to him sons Robert, Bartlet and John from
York and New Kent County records, but do not exclude the possible existence of
others.
Notes for ? Bartelot:
Because of the use of the name Bartelot
as a given name in this family, and the common practice in colonial times of
naming a son with a given name the same as the surname of the mother
consideration should be given that this woman was a Miss Bartelot.
Children of Robert
Anderson and ? Bartelot are:
+ 2 i. Robert5 Anderson, Sr., born Abt.
1642 in York County, Virginia; died 1712 in New Kent County, Virginia.
3 ii. Bartelot Anderson, born 1658 in New Kent
County, Virginia; died Bet. 1694 - 1704 in New Kent County, Virginia.
Notes for Bartelot
Anderson:
Bartelot Anderson was born about 1658 along the York River in
Colonial Virginia. His birth date
derives from the followiing court entry.
York Co., Va. Deed Book
for years 1694-1697
....Apr. 5, 1694,
deposition of Bartlott Anderson in which he deposeth he is aged 36 years and
his brother - John Anderson deposeth he is aged 30 years.
Because of the common use of the name Bartelot Anderson in the
New Kent County family in the next hundred years it can be farly certain that
Bartelot was the son of the founder of that family in Virginia.
I have not personnaly examined surviving New Kent County
records. I have not as yet found any reference that indicates Bartelot had any
family, however he did survive long enough to have fathered children and some
of the children listed for his brother Robert may in fact belond to him. Examination should be made of early St.
Peter's Parish Vestry records for reference to him.
+ 4 iii. John Anderson, born 1664 in New Kent County,
Virginia; died Bef. 1706 in New Kent County, Virginia.

patents
1666 Robert Anderson adjacent Moyses Davies
at Tottopottomoyes Creek
1670 Robert Anderson adjacent John Fleming
& Thomas Glass
The 1666 record is the first that we can
soundly assigned to the family of Robert Anderson, Sr., either to himself or
his father. Virginia land patents often identify the land by reference to
nearby creeks and branches and whether they are above of below a river that is
a branch of the Chesapeake Bay. In
addition they list the adjacent landowners.
These two records indicate that a Robert Anderson already owned land
along Tottopottomoyes Creek before 1666.
Totopotomey's Creek flows into the Pamunkey River from the south in the
eastern part of what is now Hanover County Virginia.
George Chapman
04/22/1670 4150 acres New
Kent County
Pamunkey Neck, etc. for the transport of
Robert Anderson
This reference may be from Robert
returning from a trip to England. There
were many reasons for such a trip including the need to see to family affairs
there and for education and merchantile affairs. At this time the many landowners frequently selected a member
from among them to act as an agent, who returned to England in the spring
season when such trips were considered safe from hurricanes and took with him
papers and power of attorney from the other landowners that allowed him to
represent their interests. He would
then return their monies and report to them upon his return. Such trips were burdensome and such task was
rotated among landowners.
In 1677 Robert Anderson signed the
petition of grievances for Blisland Parish regarding Gov. Berkley. He was a vestry man of St. Peter's Parish,
New Kent County on 11/1686; and for St. Paul's Parish from 1704-1712. However these records do not imply that he
had ever moved, rather they reflect the reorganization of the parishes that
were occuriing at the time as the Virginia frontier expanded St. Paul's Parish
having been formed from the western reaches of St. Peter's Parish.
Robert Anderson

This 727 patent became the
"Goldmine" plantation. The Chickahominy River spilts the ground
between the Pamunkey River and the James River flowing southeast and joining
the James River in the eastern portion of Charles City County. I checked for Holly Bush Branch and Meyry
Branch on a current Virginia map but did not find them listed. But these lands were in the area just north
of current Mechanicsville, Virginia.
According to Edward L. Anderson "Goldmines" is on the west
side of Gold Mine Creek just north of Rockville, which is 20 miles northwest of
Richmond on Highway 160.

Robert Anderson Sr. appears in the
Register of St. Peter's Parish New Kent County as follows:
25 Nov 1686 - Will
Turner hath made a complaint to this vestry that his help being too weak in
clearing of ye highways - ordered that the titables of Sam'l Wady, Thom. Glass,
Will. Winston, Robert Anderson & Charles Fleming be added.
List of Lands to be
processioned on the 4th of May 1689 - Sam'l Waddy, Mr. Boots, Rob't Thomson,
Edw Bornett, John Talle, Richd Bollork, Sen, Richard Bollork, Jr, James Tate,
Mr. Crawford, Andrew Davis, Edward Broxom, John Wall, William Winston, Jno
Crawford, David Craford, Junr, Rob't Andrewson, Chas Fleming, Nicholas Mills,
Dox Penix, Mr. Dabbony and others.
Robert Anderson's signature appears
repeatedly in the St. Paul Parish vestry book from 1706-1712. He usually signs as Mr. Robert Anderson,
Sr., but occasionally uses a large R symbol as a mark in his signature. William Pope Anderson believed that Robert
had become so frail that he could only make his mark and his name was signed
for him. His son signs as Robert
Anderson, Jr. and there is another signator Captain Robert Anderson claimed but
unconfirmed to be Robert Anderson, Jr. I beliee that this Captain Robert
Anderson was none other than "Scotch" Robert Anderson a presbyterian
from another family.
One of the jobs of the vestry of a
colonial parish was to "precession" the lands of the
neighborhood. By this I mean that the
land owners who had common borders would get together once in a while (every 5
years or so) and the would walk or ride together around the common boundaries
of their land to agree on the border and to remark it freshly so that the marks
would not be lost with time. The vestry would meet and name a precinct of
landowners whose land bordered on each other and select from among them 2 or 3
prominent men to conduct the precessioning and report to the vestry. Each landowner was required to attend or
send a representative and any disagreement was recorded and reported by those
in charge of the precessioning. The parish
was divided into "precincts"
each time it was done and becasue there were new landowners over the
years the precincts are not always the same, but land that was held in one
family is clearly indentifiable and allows one to trace the common precincts
over time. Of course the major landowners had borders on all sides so it was possible
to appear in more than one precinct if you were on the edge. You might precession your eastern border in
one precinct and your western border in another.
Fortunately the St. Paul's parish vestry
book survived from 1706 to the 1780's and there are precessionings in 1708 and
1711 and so on. Robert Anderson. Sr,
and Robert Anderson Jr. and Richard, David, John, Matthew and Thomas Anderson
all appear in the 1708 precincts list all of them near each other between
Crumps Creek and Tottopotomies Creek and Mechumps Creek to the north of current
Mechanicsville, Virginia.

Robert Anderson's death in 1712 is
recorded in the St. Paul parish vestry book when an entry is made that he is
deceased and being replaced as church vestryman.
From the 1704 rent roll it appears
likely that Robert, David, John and Richard were the oldest sons and that
Matthew, Thomas were younger and had not established their own plantations as
of 1704. William appears in the King William County rent roll when it is known
that he had relocated. Notice also that there is an additional John Anderson in
this list I suspect is his younger brother John who appears to have died about
1706 according to St. Paul's vestry book which opens with an entry about care
for his children.
Robert Anderson likely had daughters as
well, however no record of them has been discovered to date. The sources below list daughters for him and
his son as Cecelia, Mary, Sarah and Charity; but this is clearly a confusion by
those researchers with the names of the widows of his sons that appear in the
St. Paul Parish vestry book.
Take caution, It is unproven that David,
John, Richard, Matthew, William, and Thomas are sons of Robert Anderson, Sr.
Indeed some may be sons of his brother Bartelot Anderson.

Sources
William Pope Anderson in Anderson Family
Records 1936, The Early Descendants of William Overton and Elizabeth Waters of
Virginia, and Allied Families, 1938 and Anderson - Overton 1945 documents the
descendants of Robert Anderson of New Kent County. His interest lies with the family of Robert Clough Anderson of
some historical fame. Robert C. served with Washington's Army (infamous at the
battle of Trenton) and had a son who commanded Fort Sumter at the outbreak of
the Civil War. He was considerate enough to collect and document family trees
on Anderson families other than Robert's and although his text is tedious to
study it contains a wealth of genealogical information. A notation in the
latter volume states that copies may be obtained from "Charitable Relief
Association", 203 West Third Street, Cincinnati 2, Ohio. However that
reference has clearly expired. Both the Virginia and Tennessee State Libraries
have had these books, although not all three.
The first and third are available from genealogical reprint book stores.
Edward L. Anderson wrote The Andersons of
Goldmine, which is in the Library of Congress. It contains a family tree for
the Robert Anderson family of New Kent.
It was used as a source for some of WIlliam Pope Anderson's work and he
quotes it where applicable. It is the best source for family traditions.
However Edward tended to lump all the Andersons of Hanover in the third
generation as sons of Robert Anderson, II when some of them likely belonged to
his brothers. He also credited the widows of Robert's sons as daughters of the
family.
Climbing the Family Tree by Bessie Lamar
Anderson Calvert is an additional source for this family. It contains considerable detail,
particularily regarding the female descendants of the family. However some of
its data is questionable.
Notes for ?:
Cecelia Massie is the traditional name
of his wife but to my knowledge it is unsupported by record. In fact, I suspect it is an error caused by
the misinterpretation of the land records associated with the widow Cecelia
Anderson wife of Matthew Anderson. Massie family researchers have been unable to connect her and
alternative suggestions are solicited from researchers.
The son Matthew married a Cecelia Massie
and the grandson Robert's wife's mother was a Cecelia Massie and therefore many
Anderson family members correctly remember a Cecelia Massie as a great great
grandmother, but I can find no supporting evidence that this woman was Cecelia
Massie.
Patrick Anderson
_________________________
W.P. Anderson appeared
convinced that Cecelia Massie was the wife of Robert Anderson . However this appears to be based only on
family traditions as show by his note 4 on page 1 of his 2nd book as shown below:
"There evidently
was a tradition that a Robert Anderson married Cecelia Massie, as It is also
given on the chart of (v6go) Robert M. Anderson, dated 1902, and mentioned in a
"Monograph of the Anderson, Clark, Marshall and McArthur Connection"
by (vbgl)Gen. T.M.Anderson. They however have the date of Robert Anderson's
death as 1719, which is wrong. There is a Cecilia Anderson appearing in the
processioning of 1719, but she apparently was the widow of Matthew Anderson.
In "Ye Andersons
of Virginia" published 1908 by (v697) Dr. Charles Anderson it says a
Robert Anderson married Cecelia Massie and places him as the father of Robert
III b. 1712.
There Is nothing in
the records left by (v6g) Gen. Robert Anderson,(v6o), Gov. Charles Anderson, or
(v6f) Mrs. Sarah Kendrick, mentioning a Robert Anderson having married Cecelia
Massie, but Gen. Robt. Anderson said "The Massies are related to us in
some way."
In a letter from
(wqx59) Mrs.Alice M.Tyler (AFR28) to ELA dated Sept.24, 1912, she states,
"I found the information about Robert Anderson being sent to Virginia by
Juxon & Co. in old records at the State Library. The fact about the
marriage of Cecilia Massey was given me by my great uncle David J.Anderson. I
will test its proof..". Mrs. Tyler
lived in Richmond, Va.,and addressed her
letter to ELA "My dear Cousin..'' Mrs. Tyler's great uncle .(wqt)
David Anderson (AFR35) owned the old family Bible, which was sent to England to
prove his title to (wz) William Anderson's estate. The Bible was never
returned."
Somewhere in some
family book, I have seen it said that Robert Anderson married Cecelia Massie in
London, England. But no reference was
give for this and do not know if it is true. I have forgotten where I saw it. I have wanted to check this out,
but so far have not. I done almost no
research in England so do not at
present know where to look.

It was common practice at the time for

Robert Anderson, Jr. was a 1703
Vestryman of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent, and Justice of New Kent in 1714.
From 1706 to 1716 Robert Anderson was a member of the vestry of St. Paul's
parish and signed as Robert Anderson, Jr. Robert Anderson's death in 1716 is
recorded in the St. Paul Parish vestry book.
The 727 acres became the "Goldmine" Plantation named after a
passing stream.
His sons were underage at the time of
his death and his family has been reconstructed from the deeds of his wife and
her sons and the precessioning records of St. Paul's parish.
Edward L. Anderson in his book
"Andersons of Goldmine" assigned many children to him that to me
appear to belong to his brothers.

believed that Elizabeth Dabney had married Mathew Anderson but I now think
there is better evidence she married Nathaniel Anderson who lived near his
mother Mary Overton Anderson. The

Anderson:
Charles Anderson was born about 1713 in New Kent County at the
"Goldmine" plantation. HIs
birth date is based on the fact that he first appears in the St. Paul Parish
Vestry book in 1734 and in that same year his mother Mary Anderson deeds to him
his portion of his father Robert's estate.

Can anyone explain the
relationships among these parties to the chancery court case? Is it possible
that the mother of Wm. Anderson, Nathaniel Anderson and John Anderson was a
member of the Jones Family; and that Richard Banks, Charles Lambert, Hardin
Burnley and Geo. Brackenridge were married to sisters, who were daughters of
John and Elizabeth Jones?

St. Paul's Parish
Vestry
1 Oct 1707 - Pursuant
to an order of the court dated July 28, 1707, appointing Mr. David Anderson
& Samuel Waddy to clear the Pamonkey River on the south side thereof from
Piping Tree to Hardings Landing, formerly Youels, they applying themselves to
this vestry for assistance with instruments or materials to comply with the
order of the court. This vestry has thought that this parish is not able to
comply with that order.
Piping Tree is along
the Pamunkey River in the northeast corner of the bend that occurs just above
the border between current New Kent County and Hanover County. It is downstream from Totoppotomeys
Creek. This bend sticks into KIng
WIlliam County and suggests the reason so many records of this family reference
a residence of King WIlliam County.
The St. Paul's parish
vestry book survived from 1706 to the 1780's and there are precessionings in
1708 and 1711 and so on. Robert
Anderson. Sr, and Robert Anderson Jr. and Richard, David, John, Matthew and

Susanna Swann had at least two children: Cornelius Jr.,(1686 -1764\65), who md,
(1721), Sarah Jennings; and Mary, (Jan.22,1688 - sep 7,1748), who married
Thomas Carr. Ruth ------, who married, (ca.1714), James Trice, was a daughter
of Susanna Swann was a daughter of Susanna Swann. But there's some disagreement
as to who her father may have been: Cornelius Dabney, (ca.1640-1693), or David
Anderson. I tend to suspect she was David Anderson's daughter, based on later
dates for her descendants, but this
could be wrong.
____________________________
Other research in
Hanover Co. Wills rerecorded in 1868 (on motion of Wm Winston Dabney) show that
Dorothy and James Trice were married as early as 1722 because they are
mentioned in the will of Susanah Anderson of St Paul's Parish, Hanover Co.
dated 4 March 1722. She devises "to grandson William Anderson" a
young Negro which she lends to grandson's "father in law" [probably
meaning stepfather] James Trice for benefit/education of sd William. Bequests
to children: to son, Cornelius DabneyŠ to daughter Dorothy Trice wife of James
Trice Š to daughter Mary Carr wife of Capt. Thomas Carr Š to son David
Anderson. [Source: Will Book 1 p632.] That tells me that Dorothy Dabney
Anderson and James Trice married as early as 4 March 1722 and Dorothy's son
William was alive that date.

Notes for Richard
Anderson:
Richard's existence is derived from St.
Paul parish precessioning records and the 1704 rent roll. He is identified in
the St, Paul's parish vestry book as responsible for the cures of two different
individuals so I am assuming he was considered a doctor.
Curiously I have found no patents or
deeds for him but he is listed as a land holder in the precessioning
records. He survived for a significant
period in the St. Paul Parish precessioning records and it is possible that he
had purchased a plantation and never moved from it. He is superceded in those records by his widow Charity
Anderson. It is possible that his widow
is the Charity Anderson listed as a daughter of Robert Anderson by Edward L.
Anderson and others. He lived in a
precinct defined separate from his bothers but within one plantation of his
brother Matthew.

This is Richard and

The St. Paul's parish vestry book
survived from 1706 to the 1780's and there are precessionings in 1708 and 1711
and so on. Robert Anderson. Sr, and
Robert Anderson Jr. and Richard, David, John, Matthew and Thomas Anderson all
appear in the 1708 precincts list all of them near each other between Crumps
Creek and Tottopotomies Creek and Mechumps Creek to the north of current
Mechanicsville, Virginia.

Notes for Charity
Pouncey:

she is co-resident in the precinct with Anthony Pouncey.

Notes for Pouncey
Anderson:
Pouncey Anderson was believed by William Pope Anderson to be a
grandson of Robert Anderson I, but no researcher to date has been able to prove
from which son. Of the six candidate
fathers of the second generation, Robert, John, Matthew, Thomas, Richard and David
we actually only know the children of Thomas from his 1757 will in Albemarle.
Other evidence from deeds suggests the children of Robert, John, Matthew and
David and therefore I have assigned Pouncey to Richard because Pouncey named a
son Richard. In addition the Holland
family and Pouncey family precessioned land in 1731 and 1739 in St. Paul's
parish adjacent Richard Anderson, whom I believe to be the son of Richard
Anderson senior. An examination of the
widow of Richard Anderson, Charity Anderson, implies she was a Pouncey, in 1731
St. Paul's parish vestry book precessioning records she is listed in a small
precinct wtih Anthony Pouncey. Charity
was a common Christian family name for the Pounceys, used in Virginia and South
Carolina

Notes for John
Anderson:
There is a write up of John Anderson's
family in The Early Descendants of William Overton and Elizabeth Waters of
Virginia, and Allied Families, by William Pope Anderson, 1938. The information therein is thin and no
supporting data is presented but the information has been incorporated in my
notes.
John's connection to Robert is through
the precessioning records of St. Paul's Parish, Hanover County, where he is
superceded by his widow Sarah. The St.
Paul's parish vestry book survived from 1706 to the 1780's and there are
precessionings in 1708 and 1711 and so on.
Robert Anderson. Sr, and Robert Anderson Jr. and Richard, David, John,
Matthew and Thomas Anderson all appear in the 1708 precincts list all of them
near each other between Crumps Creek and Tottopotomies Creek and Mechumps Creek
to the north of current Mechanicsville, Virginia

under the care of the vestry. He may be the uncle of John.

Pat,
Just had the privelege
of looking at you excellent website: Everett Anderson Memorial Collection, and
want to thank you and share information on my ancestor, John Anderson,
c.1670-1730, who died in Louisa Co, and who you list as child #7 of Robert
Anderson and Cecelia Massie.
My own lineage, in brief,
goes:
1
John Anderson=Sarah Waddy
2
Maj. Nelson Anderson (c.1714-1786-Hanover Co)=unknown wife
3
Elizabeth Anderson=Waddy Thomson, Sr
4 Anderson Thomson=(1st cousin) Ann Clopton Anderson
[SEE BELOW]
5 David Henry Thomson=Catherine Mary Goll
6 Nelson Anderson Thomson=Mary Lucinda Davies
[SEE BELOW]
2
Ann Anderson (1708-1802)=David Crawford III
3
David Crawford IV=Elizabeth Henderson
4 Elizabeth
Crawford=Nicholas Clayton Davies
5 Mayo Davies=Lucinda Taliaferro
6 Benjamin Taliaferro Davies=Mary Frances
Shirkey
7 Mary Lucinda Davies=Nelson Anderson Thomson [REDUNDANT]
8 Catherine Mary Thomson=James Luke Boyle
9 James Thomson Boyle=Barbara Jean Simpson
10
James David Boyle
2
William Anderson=unknown wife
3
Col. Nelson Anderson (1735-1819, Louisa Co)=Frances Jackson
4 Ann Clopton Anderson=Anderson Thomson [REDUNDANT]
5 etc
Thus, as far as our
family can tell, we descend from 3 of the 8 children of John Anderson. I have a fairly good-sized descendancy of
these people, and have collected about 800 or so descendants of Nicholas
Clayton Davies.
My main concern is the
parentage of John Anderson (your John4, Robert3, Richard 2, Richard1).
I would prefer to
believe that he does in fact descend, as above, from Robert, as the
genealogists in my family have believed for the past century; however, I have
run into a lot of trouble trying to confirm it.
Robert Anderson I had
a child named John, with little said about his descendants, but I couldn't tie
him into my family. Maybe you will be
able to.
In W.P. Anderson's 3
books, the major note on John is in "Early desc. of Wm. Overton,
etc", p.35, and he says that Robert I's son John was born too late to have
been the husband of Sarah Waddy, but I can't find any marriage date for Robert
I or that of his son John.
My John and his wife apear to be the ones
who were deeded land on 28 Jan 1696 from Samuel Waddy, and John's widow
conveyed these 80 acres to John Thom(p)son (7 Aug 1735--Virginia County
Records, by Crozier, VII:67). In 1725
he received another grant of land in Hanover Co. My working hypothesis is that he came from Scotland, and came
here either before or after his 1700 marriage. One source claimed that the
Thomas Anderson of co.Northumberland who established a shipyard at Gloucester
Point in the 17th century, was the ancestor of the family in Virginia, and they
are apparently unrelated to the Robert Andersons of Goldmine.
If you have any
further ideas on John, I would be grateful for them. If you would like me to send a printout or GEDCOM on anything I
have, it would be a pleasure.
Thanks again for your
great website.

Patrick, Thank you for
your Anderson webpage - it is amazing.
I am looking
for information on
Elkanah Anderson whose daughter, Miss ? Anderson married
William Harrelson, son
of Paul Harrelson and Patience Lewis.
Elkanah and
Miss Anderson had a son
named Elkanah Harrelson who married a cousin,
Elishebear
Harrelson. Elkanah Harrelson died
before June 1781 of war
wounds. Their son was Anderson Harrelson born about
1776 and died in
Hopkins County,
Kentucky, in 1824. The Harrelsons were
in the New Kent,
Virginia area,
also. I had a note that Elkanah
Anderson married a Sarah
Bradley, but the only
record I have found to verify this is a deed listing
Elkanah's wife as
Sarah. In your copious notes, if you
have any more
information on Elkanah
Anderson's family, I would appreciate hearing from
you. Again, thanks. Betty

In 1708/09 lands of Capt. William
Anderson were adjacent Robert Anderson, jr. and then transferred to Matthew
Anderson relationship unconfirmed, apparently son of Robert Anderson, Sr. This suggests that neighbors William and
Matthew were brothers and descendents of Robert who had patented land along the
Pamunkey River in the 1670's. William
lived just across the Pamunky River from his brothers and is mentioned in the
St. Paul's Parish precessioning records as adjacent them. I had for some time thought he might be a
son of the William along the Rappahanock Road in King and Queen County but I
now believe he is another son of Robert.

Dorothy Dabney bc 1685
was not married in 1699
In 1699 these four
children "James Dabney, Geo. Dabney, Dorothy Dabney, and Sarah Dabney,
recorded as devisees of Cornelius Dabney dec'd & due 700 acres to which is
added of Low Land thereto adjoining 150 acres" in Pamunkey Neck. (Louis
des Cognets, Jr., English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records, p. 59).
Dorothy married
William Anderson aft 1699 but before 25 Apr 1701 -...give and grant unto WM.
ANDERSON & DOROTHY his wife 179 1/2 acres of land lying and being in St.
John's Parish in Pamunkey neck in King & Queen County bounded as followeth
Beginning at a red Oake on Pounces Swamp and running east 21 degrees south 211
poles & 1/2 to a hiccory then south...land adj her sister Sarah's land and
brother James Dabney's land Grant.
The following proves
that Dorothy(Dabney)Anderson was in 1732 - Dorothy Trice:
17 May 1732 William WINSTON to Cornelius DABNEY of King William Co., VA, Gentleman, for 5
shillings sells land in the Pamunkey
Neck, King William Co., it being a tract granted to Sarah DABNEY by patent
bearing date 25 Apr 1701 and by the said Wm. WINSTON as son and heir to the
said Sarah DABNEY, bounded by the south side of Poncey Swamp, Cornelius
Dabney's land, Wormley's land, Dorothy Trice's land, and the water course of
Poncey Swamp, paying yearly rent for one year. Wits. John Crowshaw, Richard
Gregory, Jas. or Jos. Berkley, Jr. Acknowledged 18 May 1732, King William Co.,
VA.
Note: the above
William Winston was William "Essex" Winston (1704-1781) son of
William Winston II and Sarah Dabney..This Cornelius was the son of James Dabney
and Ann Sherwood.
Dorothy Dabney
Anderson/Trice was named as a daughter of the 2nd wife of Cornelius Dabney,
Susanna (m 2nd Anderson) in her will dated 16th. day of March 1722.
Hanover County, Will
Book 1, Court December 22, 1868 recorded by William Winston Dabney (after the
destruction of Hanover Records during the Civil war)
Since Cornelius Dabney
was still married to his first wife Edeith in 1678 from a letter dated: 29 Jun
1678 - Cornelius Dabney to Colonel Moryson. [Virginia Colonial Records -
VSL [from the public records office in London]
Survey Report No. 742,
pg. 5, 00663]
Any children born to Susanna
would be sometime after this 1678 date.
Dorothy was born probably 1685 - making her about 16 when she
married. Her sister Mary was born 22
Jan 1688 (from the Carr Bible)
Her son Dabney
Anderson died in Caroline Co., Va. in 1732, James Trice his administrator
(Caroline Co., Va. Order Book)

In Reply to: Re: Wm
Anderson's 1717 will by Patrick Anderson
of 15146
Hi Patrick:
Thanks for your info. I
was curious to know if the will existed since several had said William's will
was "proven" in 1717. I'll check the "The Richmond Virginia
Standard" issue you suggest and William Pope Anderson's book/notes.
I neglected to say
where I found William Anderson's 1719 inventory, it was in Louisa County, VA
Chancery Case papers at the Library of Virginia. Several cases between the
Trices and Charles Crenshaw beginning in about 1789, include many depositions
and some documents on William Anderson, Dorothy Anderson and second husband
James Trice, sons William Anderson and Dabney Anderson, as well as Dabney's
sisters: Judith Trice and husband Godney/Godwin and Sarah Ashburn and husband
John Ashburn. Possibly a daughter, Mary, married John Trice then Henry Edwards.
The cases are dated 1801 and 1804 (ending dates of the cases) but some
documents in them are dated 1719, 1720, 1735, 1736 and 1769. The documents
mention several counties: Hanover, Caroline, Albemarle, and King William.
Thanks again for your
help.

________________________________
The William ANDERSON
and Dorothy DABNEY you cite certainly seem to be the couple of the same names
cited by Rubyann, and that they had among their issue sons named William and
Dabney and a daughter named Sarah seems beyond dispute. It also seems certain that
William ANDERSON's widow Dorothy DABNEY married James TRICE, that James TRICE
became the administrator of the estate of his step-son Dabney ANDERSON, and
that among the legatees of Dabney's estate were his sister Sarah ANDERSON and
her husband John ASHBURN.
The last proven
progenitor of my ASHBURN line is Dabney Anderson ASHBURN, b abt 1755 VA or NC,
d aft 1801 TN. If our Dabney Anderson ASHBURN is descended from the John
ASHBURN and Sarah ANDERSON cited above, there is likely to have been at least
one ASHBURN male generation between John and Sarah and our Dabney Anderson, as
the Sarah who was the sister of the Dabney ANDERSON daughter of William
ANDERSON and Dorothy DABNEY is reported to have been b (deleted error), or
about 80 years before our Dabney Anderson ASHBURN. The given name Anderson
recurs often through the generations descending from Dabney Anderson ASHBURN.
Can you shed any light
on exactly how, if at all, our ASHBURNs are connected to your ANDERSONs and
DABNEYs?

Virginia, and died Abt. 1743 in Louisa County, Virginia.
Notes for Matthew
Anderson:
The birth date of Matthew has been
corrected to reflect the fact that he does not appear in the 1704 rent roll and
may differ from the one given by William Pope Anderson in Anderson - Overton, A
Continuation of Anderson Family Records (1936) & Early Descendants of
William Overton & Elizabeth Waters of Virginia & Allied Families, by
William Pope Anderson, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1945.
Matthew's existence is derived from a study of early precessioning
records of St. Paul's Parish which associate him with Robert Anderson I.
The St. Paul's parish vestry book
survived from 1706 to the 1780's and there are precessionings in 1708 and 1711
and so on. Robert Anderson. Sr, and
Robert Anderson Jr. and Richard, David, John, Matthew and Thomas Anderson all
appear in the 1708 precincts list all of them near each other between Crumps
Creek and Tottopotomies Creek and Mechumps Creek to the north of current
Mechanicsville, Virginia
Matthew married a Cecilia whose surname
is unproven but appears to have been Massie.
This is determined from the precessioning records. Follow-up researchers should be cautious
that the occurence of Cecilia's name in the early parish records may have
caused early researchers to both create a Cecilia as a sister and to give his
father Robert a wife by the name of Cecilia.
However from records that I have seen it is only clear that this one
widow named Cecilia existed.
In 1708/09 Matthew acquired the lands of
Capt. William Anderson. This suggests that Matthew was born before 1687. Matthew is last listed in Hanover land
records in 1715/16 after which his widow Cecilia is listed in 1719 as land
owner until 1743. Matthew therefore died between 1715 and 1719. More likely
close to 1719 as in 1719 Gilbert Gibson was given a patent adjacent to Matthew
and Thomas Anderson in New Kent County.
Matthew appears to have died young and
likely only had a few children. There was a tendency to claim all the Andersons
in the Hanover tax lists as belonging to Robert Anderson, Jr., a tradition
started by Edward L. Anderson early in the 20th century.
Matthew died before his sons were of age
and as a result we have no official record of their names. I have seen no will for him.
In 1735 James Anderson
precesions for Cecelia's land and is therefore likely a son born before 1714.
Edward L. Anderson listed this James as a son of Matthew's brother Robert.
Because of Matthew's early date of death it seems more likely James was a son
under age at his father's death. I have seen someone's penciled note in the Va.
Sate Library implying that Bartelot Anderson was the son of Matthew. It is
known by record that Bartelot had a brother Charles from land patents and and
from a surviving 1747 letter.
The Bartelot/Matthew
Association comes from
Goochland County Wills
& Deeds 1736-1742, page 415
12/04/1740 Valentine
Bostick of Hanover Co to John Woodson of Goochland Co
for 40 pounds 400a in
St. James Parish, on north side of Appomattox River, granted by patent to John
Bostick, dec'd 8 Sept. 1736 and by said said John sold to Valentine Bostick;
bounded by William Bostick late of Goochland Co., John Cahfin, Edmund Hodges,
Willaim Arnold; with all houses. WIt: Nowel Burton, Matthew Anderson, Bartelot
Anderson
If Bartelot was a son of Matthew then it
is sure that Matthew also had a son Charles.
Matthew the elder had died by 1719 and the Matthew of the above record
would have to be a Matthew, Jr. In 1755
Bartelot acts as the executor for Matthew Anderson, Jr.

Massie:
The widow Cicilia Anderson is prominent
in the precessioning records of St. Paul's parish.

N New Found River, adj. William Rice,
granted to Cecelia Anderson, widow 11/13/1721 on condition of seating

Chiswell
Cicilia's association with the Massie
family suggests that she was the Cecilia Massie of tradition in the Anderson
family. Unfortunately previous
researchers have variously claimed her to be a daughter of Robert, 1st, 2nd
and/or his wife. I have only been able
to find evidence that his one Cecilia, widow, was a member of the family.
In a letter from (wqx59) Mrs.Alice
M.Tyler (AFR28) to ELA dated Sept.24, 1912, she states, "I found the
information about Robert Anderson being sent to Virginia by Juxon & Co. in
old records at the State Library. The fact about the marriage of Cecilia Massey
was given me by my great uncle David J.Anderson. I will test its
proof..". Mrs. Tyler lived in
Richmond, Va.,and addressed her letter
to ELA "My dear Cousin..'' Mrs. Tyler's great uncle .(wqt) David Anderson
(AFR35) owned the old family Bible, which was sent to England to prove his
title to (wz) William Anderson's estate. The Bible was never returned."
David Anderson of Albemarle resided on
the 1721 patent of Cecelia Anderson, widow and I am using this letter as my
proof that he was her youngest son.
Children of Matthew
Anderson and Cecilia Massie are:

Patrick,
I have had this
abstract of a court case for many years and do not remember where I found
it. Have you seen it ? Just what does it mean ? The dates at the
end appear to me to be the dates it was published in a newspaper.
Harry F. Anderson
"At a General
Court held at the Capital, in Williamsburg, April 14, 1755. Richard Dobson and
Frances his wife, Plaintiffs
against
William Taylor, Gentleman, Defendant,
Upon an appeal from a decree of the Court
of Hanover County obtained by the Defendant against the Plaintiffs and Matthew
Anderson, John Goodwin and Mary his wife, John Anderson and Lucy Anderson,
infants, and John Scott, Bartlett Anderson and John Anderson, executors &c
of Matthew Anderson deceased that the Plaintiffs had not any right to dower of
and in the houses and lots in the bill mentioned, that James Littlepage, John
Symme and Reuben Skelton, Gentleman, should sell the said houses and lots at
public auction ... It is the opinion of the court that the said decree Is
erroneous. (6je55:42; 13Je55:42; 2OJe55:42; 27Je55:42) "

I think that the John

John Goodwin Jr. had at

AH! but they must not
have had that newspaper article & the 1747 bible
This is my THEORY
Matthew Anderson had a
wife Frances who m 2nd Rich Dobson
She is the Frances Dobson who died 15
Nov 1768
Anderson Children:
Mathew Anderson - adult
in 1755 (born before 1734)
Mary Anderson b 1730 or
earlier m John Goodwin -married before 1747
Frances Goodwin born before 1748 m 23 Feb 1764 (bible in her family)
Mary Goodwin
John & Lucy
Anderson - born after 1735 ("infants in 1855)
John Goodwin died 28
Oct 1762
Either Mary ( the widow
Goodwin) or Mary (the daughter Goodwin) m __ Horsley & is
the Mary Horsley
who d 10 May 1773.
Also a John Anderson
died 2 Dec 1760.
47 ii. Bartelot Anderson (Source: William Pope
Anderson, Anderson - Overton, A Continuation of Anderson Family Records
(1936) & Early Descendants of William Overton & Elizabeth Waters of
Virginia & Allied Fa,
(Cincinnati, Ohio; 1945.).), born Abt. 1710 in New Kent County,
Virginia; died 1761 in Hanover County, Virginia. He married Mary Cosby Abt. 1740; born Abt. 1715 in New Kent
County, Virginia; died in Hanover County, Virginia.
Notes for Bartelot
Anderson:
1734 Mary Dowell appts as her attorney Bartlet
Anderson to acknowledge to Samuel Dalton her dower right to 400a sold by
husband John Dowell. St. Paul Parish Vestry book
Edward L. Anderson early in the 20th century placed Bartelot
Anderson as the son of Robert Anderson, Jr. In the 1980's I had seen someone's
penciled note in the Va. Sate Library implying that Bartelot was the son of
Matthew (Robert's brother). It is known by record that Bartelot had a brother
Charles from land patents and records in Prince Edward County and from a
surviving 1747 letter. If this is the
case then Charles Anderson the brother of Robert Anderson, III and Charles
Anderson the brother of Bartelot need to be one and the same person. However an examination of Robert's brother Charles
who lived on 335 acres near Totopotomys Creek in Hanover County and Charles
Anderson who patented lands in Prince Edward County with Bartelot indicate that
they are unlikely to be the same individual.
Therefore I have concluded in 2003 that Bartelot is likely the son of
Matthew Anderson as claimed by the unknown scribler.
My research shows that
the Bartelot/Matthew Association comes from:
Goochland County Wills
& Deeds 1736-1742, page 415
12/04/1740 Valentine
Bostick of Hanover Co to John Woodson of Goochland Co
for 40 pounds 400a in
St. James Parish, on north side of Appomattox River, granted by patent to John
Bostick, dec'd 8 Sept. 1736 and by said said John sold to Valentine Bostick;
bounded by William Bostick late of Goochland Co., John Cahfin, Edmund Hodges,
Willaim Arnold; with all houses. WIt: Nowel Burton, Matthew Anderson, Bartelot
Anderson
The earlier generation Matthew was dead before 1719. Matthew
of this record was likely his son as he appears in the same precinct in St.
Paul's Parish as his mother Cecilia. Bartelot witnesses the 1733 deeds from
Mary Anderson nee Overton to her son John Anderson and Charles Anderson. Because he appears on many documents of the
cousins I cannot yet confirm that Bartelot is a son of Matthew, but as he acts
as the executor for Matthew Anderson, Jr. it seems likely. Bartelot Anderson was an early Virginia
Lawyer. See his many advertisements regarding the settlement of estates in the
"Virginia Gazette and General Advertiser" (the Williamsburg colonial
newspaper).

1715; died in Prince Edward County, Virginia.
Notes for Colonel
Charles Anderson:
Both Charles Anderson
and his brother Bartelot Anderson patent lands adjacent each other in the area
now Prince Edward County. It is likely
that this Charles Anderson is the one who served in the House of Burgesses from
Prince Edward County, Virginia and was prominent in the founding of the
County. Charles Anderson patented
lands in western Amelia County, Virignia now Prince Edward County in 1747 and
1751. There is a 1747 letter from Mr.
Jerdone identifying Charles as the brother of Bartelot. Likely he used the land
as a speculator selling it off for profit and also granted some of it to sons
of his. He may have had additional
children than those listed. He survived
until after 1760 and his will may yet be found.

Notes for James
Anderson:
There is supposition that James Anderson of early Hanover was
a son of Matthew Anderson because he supercedes his parents in the Hanover
precessioning records of St. Paul's Parish. James
Anderson is mentioned as replacing Cecelia Anderson in 1735 and Thomas Anderson
in 1741 as a precessioner of lands in St. Pauls's parish vestry book.

By 1764 James has sold his father's land to
Ralph Crutchfield. He either dies or
merges into the sea of James Andersons of Virginia. If you are looking for him I might check out the New RIver area
where his mother got the patent in 1721 since it was probably intended for her
sons.
50 v. David Anderson (Source: William Pope
Anderson, Anderson Family Records,
(W. F. Schaeffer & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio; 1936).), born Abt. 1716 in
Hanover County, Virginia; died 1791 in Albemarle County, Virginia. He married Elizabeth Mills Abt. 1738; born
Bet. 1722 - 1723 in Hanover County, Virginia; died 1804 in Albemarle County,
Virginia.
Notes for David Anderson:
There is some dispute over the correct parentage of
David. He is not identified in the St.
Paul parish precessioning records with the Robert Anderson family by William
Pope Anderson; however the 1735 precessioning record does name a David Anderson
I believe to be him. Edward L. Anderson believed him to be Robert's son,
William Pope Anderson was not sure. If
the reader wishes to be very cautious, you might look at David the son of
Thomas Anderson and Agnes Gannaway. David the son of Thomas Anderson was a
younger son and not likely to be the one in the 1735 record. It has been
reported to me that David settled on the patent on the New Found River of
Cecilia Anderson, and if this is the case he is likely the youngest son of
Matthew Anderson and Cecelia born 1716-1719.
He does name a daughter Cecelia.
In addition his descendents have written that Cecelia Massie was their
ancestor.

The Will of David
Overton Anderson
Albemarle County Court
House: Will Book # 3
Written October 3, 1789
In the name of God
Amen. I David Anderson of the County of
Albemarle being of perfect mind and memory thanks be given to the Almighty God
for the same and calling to mind the uncertainty of this transitory life do
make this my last will and testament in manner and form following.
Imprimis, I commend my
soul to God who gave it hoping through the death and merits of Jesus Christ my
Savior to be made partaker of the never fading joys of immortality at the day

upon me, I give and bequeath the same, in manner and form following. This is to say I give and bequeath unto my
Son William Anderson and to his heirs and assigns forever four slaves (viz.)
Will, Lucy, Massie and Jack or the survivors of them, with all the increase of
the said four slaves from the day he had possession of them.
Item, I give and
bequeath unto my Son Nathaniel Anderson to his heirs and assigns forever four
slaves (viz.) Coy, Frances, Ned and Dinah or the survivors of them, with all
the increase of the said four slaves from the day he had possession of them
except Daphney, daughter of the said Frances.
Item, I do give and
bequeath unto my son David Anderson to his heirs and assigns forever, four
slaves (viz.) Sal, Bess, Amey and John or the survivors of them with all the
increase of the said four slaves from the day he had possession of them. I also give and bequeath unto my said son
David Anderson to his heirs and assigns forever all that tract of land and
plantation containing by estimation three hundred acres, be the same more or
less, situate in Hanover County which I purchased of Benjamin Hart.
Item, I give and
bequeath unto my son Richard Anderson to his heirs and assigns forever, four
slaves (viz.) Jupiter, Easther, Hannah and Sawney, or the survivors of them
with all the increase of the said four slaves from the day he had possession of
them except Easther, daughter of the said Easther.
Item, I give and
bequeath unto my two granddaughters Mary Johnson Anderson and Elizabeth
Anderson and to their heirs and assigns forever, four slaves (viz.) Harwood,
Jessee, Daphney and Easther or the survivors of them, with all the increase of
the said four slaves from the day my son Matthew Anderson, their father, had
possession of them to be equally divided between my two said granddaughters at
the death of their said father, reserving to him the use and said profits of
the same slaves with their increase during his natural life. I give also and bequeath unto my said son
Matthew Anderson my riding mare.
Item, I give and
bequeath unto my daughter Ann Minor to her heirs and assigns forever four
slaves (viz.) Isaac, Cloe, Lydda and Sam or the survivors of them, with all the
increase of the said four slaves from the day she had possession of them.
Item, I give and
bequeath unto my son Thomas Anderson to his heirs and assigns forever four
slaves (viz.) Gilbert, Moses, Aggy and Winney with all the future increase of
the said slaves. I also give unto my
said son Thomas Anderson after the death of his mother my silver watch.
Item, I give and
bequeath unto my grandson Jack Anderson, son of Thomas Anderson, to his heirs
and assigns forever all that tract of land containing by estimation four
hundred and sixty five acres more or less tying and being in Hanover county
which said tract of land was conveyed to me by Deed and acknowledged by my said
son Thomas Anderson at last May Hanover Court, relation thereto being had, will
more fully appear provided.
Nevertheless that the said tract of land shall forever be subject to
sale by my executors thereafter named for the payment of any damages that shall
lawfully accrue and come against my estate for and on account of my being bound
as security for my son the said Thomas Anderson in a Bond Condition for his
making a settlement of Negroes on his wife, when he should arrive at lawful
age, and whenever my son, the said Thomas Anderson, shall exonerate my estate
from any lawful claim or demand whatsoever by account of being security for him

Hey, Patrick--
Thought you might be
interested in something I found in the GenForum.
I was looking for info
on Elizabeth Mills who married David Anderson. I can't copy/paste so I've typed
what was posted Oct. 9, 1998 by Betty S. Cravens ([email protected]). Check out
their 7th child!!
"Nicholas Mills,
Jr. b. ca. 1670 m. 1691/92 Ann Clopton, dau. William Clopton and Ann Booth. He
died 1741 St. Martin's Parish Hanover Co. VA
children:
1. Charles b. ca. 1695
m. _______Thompson
2. Nicholas III
3. Jane m. bef. 1740 to
Thomas Rice
4. David m. 5 Jun 1746
to Lucy Wyatt dau John Wyatt and Jane Pamplin
5. Robert m. Dec 1767
Mary Hopkins
6. Ann m. bef 1741
Thomas Jackson
7. Elizabeth m. ca.
1735 to David Anderson son Robert Anderson and Mary Elizabeth Overton.
If interested, Ann
Clopton's line is well documented and takes you to the Plantagenets, sorry the
throne is already taken."
Don't know exactly her
sources, but this seems to confirm what you expected re: the parentage of David
Anderson.

Notes for Thomas
Anderson:
Thomas' birth date has been corrected to
reflect the fact that he does not appear as a land holder in the 1704 rent roll
and may differ from the writings of William Pope Anderson. Anderson - Overton,
A Continuation of Anderson Family Records (1936) & Early Descendants fo
William Overton & Elizabeth Waters of Virginia & Allied Families, by
William Pope Anderson, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1945.
The St. Paul's parish vestry book
survived from 1706 to the 1780's and there are precessionings in 1708 and 1711
and so on. Robert Anderson. Sr, and
Robert Anderson Jr. and Richard, David, John, Matthew and Thomas Anderson all
appear in the 1708 precincts list all of them near each other between Crumps
Creek and Tottopotomies Creek and Mechumps Creek to the north of current
Mechanicsville, Virginia.
In 1719 Gilbert Gibson was given a patent adjacent to Matthew and
Thomas Anderson in New Kent County.
Thomas' association with Robert Anderson I derives from an analysis of
precessioning records in St. Paul's Parish published in the book above. Thomas was a church warden for St. Pauls
Parish in the 1720's.
November 1734 Hanover
County, Virginia
Thomas and Charles
Anderson post bond regarding construction of Chickahominy Bridge
Thomas Anderson's first wife died betwen
1725 and 1734. Before 1734 he remarried
to Mary and began experimenting with western lands. In 1733 Thomas was replaced
as a church warden of St. Paul's parish and ordered to surrender the moneys of
the parish to Thomas Merriweather. He continues as a vestryman until 1737 when
he was removed as vestryman. In 1739 a
nephew Thomas Anderson replaces him as vestryman until 1754. As can be seen in the records below he was
dabbling in western lands during this period and even spent some time in jail
in 1738. By 1748 he was firmly
entrenched on lands in Albemarle County.

I copied the following

into my line but thought it might be helpful to people researching this family.
It was difficult to read in parts but I think I got all the basics.

Editor's note: Mr.

Hello Pat:
Pat here! Boy that
could get confusing, but we won't let it.
Thank you so very much for the research notes on Elizabeth, and the
directions to the two web sites. Having only read the notes at this time of
night (10:47 PM) it really does clarify my question regarding Reynard &
Thomas.
Besides the connection
through Thomas, what caught my eye immediately, was my connection to John
Gannaway & John Gannaway II or Jr. as witnesses to Thomas' 10/25/1757
will. John I is my 6th G grandfather;
John II is my 5th G grandfather. We
carry the Gannaway line from Jacapo di Genoa & Leonora di Medici in 1544 to
my grandmother, Mary Pearl (Gannaway) Black.
It would appear that
Agnus (Gannaway) Anderson could be an elder sister (by four years) of John I,
the daughter of Marmaduke & Henrietta
(Campmartin) Gannaway
of London.
I am looking froward
to going through the web sites. Again,
our best regards; we'll be in touch.
Please let us know if you would like any
information on the
Gannaways, Woodsons, or any other early family groups (I'm sure we'll find a
few more connections).

Hi Patrick
Saw your name on
Anderson Gen Forum. Am descendant of
Thomas Anderson of Hanover---his daughter Elizabeth married John Woodson. Their daughter Ann married Moore
Lumpkin---do you have these descendants.
Some years ago, I saw
reference to this Anderson Family and wondered how Thomas is connected toRobert
and Richard et. al. Was there a will,
or is there something more like a land record, or is it proximity. Also, I wonder about the name of his wife
Agnes Gannaway. There is a Gannaway
family in Prince Edward that was also connected to Woodsons and Lumpkins. What is the source for her surname. Could she be connected to John of Prince
Edward?
Also, Elizabeth, daughter of David Anderson of
Buckingham married 1) to Washington Walker and then to Moore Jr. Lumpkin about 1809. She moved to Tennessee. He sister Susan married Michael Lancaster of
Prince Edward. Is there any connectino
to Thomas Anderson. Actually I was
hoping to see if Elizabeth and Susan had any other siblings. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I just got this:
"I also have a
copy of a book called "Woodsons and their Connections" by
Henry Morton Woodson
1915. It was in the LDS Family History
Library in Salt
Lake City.
On page 25 it says
"Richard, born about 1662, at Curles in Henrico County,
married Anne Smith,
daughter of Obadiah Smith. In 1729 he
made a deed to
James Hambleton, for
land in Henrico, being part of a tract granted to his
father Robert Woodson
in October 1704. As he was about 67
years old at the
time of making this
deed, he probably died within a few years thereafter."
Then he listed the
children as such:
i. Richard, Jr.4 (Richard3, Robert2, John1)
born about 1690 in Henrico.
Arriving at the age of
young manhood, he located in Goochland where he
patented and otherwise
acquired such immense tracts of land that he came to
be known as
"Baron" Woodson, He later built his home "Poplar Hill" in
Prince
Edward, Co. He was married in about 1715 to Anne
Madeleine Michaux,
daughter of Abraham
Michaux and Susanne Rochette, Huguenots who had settled
at Manikin Town in
1701. (You should also check those
names on Google
search. Their story is amazing. There is still a church in Manikin Town,
VA with plaques with
their names on it.)
ii. Obediah - born
about 1712 in Henrico married in 1734 to Constance
Watkins, daughter of
John Watkins "the Tray Maker."
Obediah held the rank
of captain and
commanded a company of militia as shown by a letter addressed
to him by Gov.
Dinwiddie and found in the Virginia Historical Collection,
(Dinwiddie Papers).
iii. John born about 1697 in Henrico and married
probably about 1720 to
Elizabeth Anderson,
dau. of Thomas Anderson of Hanover County.
iv. Elizabeth born
about 1699 in Henrico where it appears she spent her
entire life. She was twice married first to Thomas Morton
about 1718. He
died in 1731 and his
will was proved "First monday in April, 1731," and
names wife Elizabeth
and 5 children. On Sep 20, 1740
Elizabeth Woodson
Morton of Henrico, made
a deed to her children, Thomas Morton, John Morton,
Ann Morton, Judith
Morton and nephew Samuel Morton, brother to Joseph
Morton. It was after making this deed that she was
married, second to
Edmond Goode.

Wonder what proof there
is that Susanna m John Williams in Goochland
Co VA
and died in Shelby Co
KY? It's possible she's the Susanna who
married
Thomas Williams d. 1806
Goochland, though if so, she predeceased him.
Curious about source
for Susanna having married John Williams. Can you
identify the Roger
Williams who witnessed the will of Thomas Anderson in
1757 Albemarle? Thomas ans Susannah Williams had a son,
Roger, and he
probably had a brother,
Roger as well.
I have some info from
another Anderson researcher placing Susanna as a wife
of Thomas, but I cannot
prove or disprove John or Thomas?
Is there a relationship
between Thomas' father, Robert, and Reynard
Anderson? Don't know if you've gone back to England to
see if they are
related or not. They
seem to move among some of the same circles, but that
could be geography,
more than relationships. However, I've long come to the
conclusion, that while
proximity doesn't make for DNA relationships, most
often one did not come
to this country alone, without "kith and kin".
This is spurred by a 30
year search to find the grandparents of Charles
anderson Williams, s/o
Samuel Williams and Lucy Lewis of Bedford/Campbell Co
VA , later Botetourt Co
VA . I think he may be Richard, Robert,
Thomas,
Susanna m Thomas

Any thoughts?

We think that Susanna
married Thomas Williams and that Roger Williams was perhaps the oldest son,
still in the area.. Among thier
children, there is a Samuel Williams m. Susanna Ligon. Thier oldest son, named
Anderson Williams (1767), is most likely the father of my Samuel Williams b.
1798/99 d. bet 1880/1900 in Botetourt, m Lucy Lewis in Campbell Co VA 1821.
Thier son, Charles Anderson Williams was my GGGgrandfather (b 1823 d. 1880/1
Botetourt Co VA).
Linda Stuffelbean has
sent me a file which tends to document most of these things, though Thomas
Williams didn't leave a lot of records to work with. While he and Susanna seem
to have had a number of children, perhaps as many as 17, the records he left tend
to be indicative of a man who couldn't handle his financial matters well. He spent a good deal of time in Cumberland
Co court, and on more than one occasion, Charles Williams and John Gannaway
were the security for his debts. Charles moved on to Pittsylvania Co where he
married twice. Samuel paid the tax for his father in 1786, indicating that
Thomas may not have been able to pay for himself. It's possible that Thomas married again in Cumberland Co in 1790
in Campbell Co VA, as the father of the bride more or less disowned his
disobedient daughter. It's not Thomas,
of either Roger or Mathias, as it's possible a young girl married a very old
man, with no money. But that's pure
speculation. I've seen her father's will, but not his estate settlement. Perhaps finding any estate settlement for
Thomas might answer the question, but I think it's possible that Roger was the
son of Thomas, witnessing the will of his grandfather, Thomas Anderson. Thomas
Williams is known to have had a brother Matthias from Cumberland Co
records. I can find nothing to support
a marriage to a John Williams, except
on the web, and I suspect that's coming from your web site. Would like to find
proof somewhere, to prove or disprove either Thomas or John as the husband of
Susanna. IF it's Thomas, I can document
four of the kids and I believe Linda can document all of them, but I don't have
all of her publication.
Thanks

>Patrick -
Have I seen your webpage? Indeed, your
webpage, which I found in early June, was what gave me link I needed to
researching this family. <U>You have a great webpage</U>. You have worked very hard on it and I have
been recommending it to other Anderson researchers.
I traced the ancestry of Mary Spencer
(wife of Richard Anderson) back to the le Despencers and D'abbetots in the 11th
century. You probably have this
information, but I'm including it in this email just in case.
But I haven't got any further info on the
Andersons. I also would love to have
more on Agnes Gannaway and Susanna Bowles(she married William Hughes, the son
of Willam Hughes and Frances Anderson).
And the biggest mystery of them all is the da___ Cecelia Massie thing. I can't take her line anywhere, cause nobody
can decide who her parents were. I've
'bout decided that it was D (probably David) and Lucretia Massie. But when you are not sure of something, you
hesitate to take it further.
Now, I'm descended from this family on
two sides. From Frances Anderson and
William Hughes and from Pouncey Anderson and Elizabeth Holland ( Her line goes
way back to the Duttons and the Molyneux'. I think I'm going to be able to connect
her to the deHolands eventually.)
We should all really appreciate the research that has gone into
your work, mainly because the Richards, Roberts and Williams are all so
confusing. I, for one, want to say thank
you for sharing it. And I also want to
ask your permission to quote some of your notes in my pedigree, which I plan to
print and share with my cousins. I also
would like to develop my own webpage, so I can get some more help with this.
Your notes speak for themselves; they are not controversial and are very honest
about the authenticity of the information. Please let me know if it's alright
to use them.
[snip]
Thanks for contacting me. Let me know if you are interested in the
Holland line. As I find out more on this family, I'll be glad to share with you
and would hope that you would be obliged to do the same for me.

These references to Thomas as Thomas Anderson Junior indicates
that his fathers name was likely Thomas and the reference to lands in
Cumberland associate him with the children of Thomas Anderson and Agnes
Gannaway. Goochland County records also refer to Thomas Anderson Jr.
After 1750 Thomas Anderson owned a plantation on the North
side of the Roanoke River, on the other side was James Mitchell. Thomas' land bordered on Henry Sage near
Eastland's Creek. During this period he
also served as a overseer (as appears in the Mecklenburg tax rolls) for the
Bluestone Creek estates of William Byrd II (Treasurer of the Colony of Virginia). William Byrd was granted those lands in the
1730's as payment for his personal financing and leadership of the survey of
the Virginia and North Carolina Border in 1728. Virginia Historical publications have reprinted his report of
that expedition. This places Thomas
Anderson in Lunenburg County. Thomas Anderson was present at the court
formation of both Lunenburg County and Mecklenburg County.
Later James Mitchell would sell his land to Edmund Taylor from
Caroline and Orange County, Virginia.
Thomas Anderson sold the properties at the river bank concerned with the
ferry across the Roanoke to Taylor in 1762.
It would appear that in the period 1742 to 1760 Thomas was concentrating
on improvements to the Colonial Post Road where it past through Virginia. Both the bridges he and his father, built
over the Chicahominy and Appomatox Rivers and this Ferry over the Roanoake were
critical improvements to this post road.
This ferry was later known
as Taylor's Ferry and was a critical point of operations during the
revolutionary war, although no battle took place there. All supplies and troops to the southern army
passed here. Virginia Governor Thomas Jefferson ordered that no Virginia wagons
were to cross the Roanoke River south of Taylor's ferry for fear that they
would not be returned. Horses for the army were pastured here and a magazine
was built for the accumulation of military stores. This magazine continued to be used as a barn through the post
Civil War era and it appears to have been located on Thomas Anderson's
property. When General Gates army marched south under instructions from George
Washington after the disasters at Charleston and Savannah, Gates found that the
ferry boats across the Roanoke could not carry his 12 pound cannon, so these
were left and built into the defenses of Taylor's Ferry. Examination of British Army corresondence
between Cornwallis and Tarleton reveals that they debated the benefit of
attacking Taylor's Ferry, but considered it too well defended by the
Mecklenburg militia, at times under the command of Major James Anderson
(Thomas' son) to risk the action.
This ferry is flooded today by Bugg's Island Lake. The magazine would be located upon the ridge
overlooking this ferry. The road to the
ferry (currently Va Route 705) passes out of Boydtown, Virginia directly south
from the old Randolph Macon College Building.
This route was the main road North South in the period 1760 to 1830, and
was supplanted in this roll only after this period with the increasing influence
of the Skipwith family and the introduction of the railroad.
Thomas Anderson's will is filed in Mecklenburg County in Will
Book 1, on page 331. It is dated
12/04/1779 and recorded 05/08/1780. He
names his wife Sarah Anderson, children Frances Taylor, Sarah Jones, James
Anderson, Martha Jones, Susanna Lewis, Mary Lewis, Thomas Anderson, Anne
Anderson, Lucy Anderson, Henrietta Maria Anderson, son-in-law William
Taylor. Evidence suggests that William
Taylor had married Elizabeth Anderson a daughter of Thomas, but she was
deceased prior to 1779.

To: PatAnder73, PEwald, [email protected]
Dear Patrick,
I am still amazed by your depth of
knowledge of the Andersons of Virginia.
I think you have presented a convincing picture of my Thomas Anderson
ancestor and appreciate you sending it on.
For accuracy of your information, I do not own the diary of my
great-great grandfather William Henry Holcombe, MD (b. May 29, 1825, d. Nov.
29, 1893). The diary is a permanent
part of the Southern Historical Collection, Manuscript # 1113, CB #3926, Wilson Library, The University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3926. A
typed copy of the nearly 250 pages can be obtained on request. Your letter led me to reread some of the
diary, particularly the autobiography part written in 1892, and it was so
enjoyable to read I thought I would share some of it with you.
"At the first roll of the
revolutionary drum in 1775, the sons of the soldiers of Culloden rushed into
the rebel army. My grandfather,
Philemon Holcombe, about 18 years of age at that time, ran away from Hampton
Sidney College, without the knowledge or consent of parents or faculty and enlisted for the war. He served the whole eight years of that
momentous struggle without wavering a moment in his fidelity to the cause. He shared all its hardships and anxieties,
its defeats and its triumphs.
"He was with Gates and Greene in
their Carolina campaigns. He fought at
Guilford Courthouse side by side with Capt. Thomas Watts whose grand-daughter
was married to one of his grandsons 60 years afterward. He was in Gen. Harry Lee's Light Horse at
Brandywine and Germantown. He rose from
the ranks to the position of Major and was promoted to a Colonelcy after
serving as aid-de-camp to Gen. Lafayette at the siege of Yorktown. He was present when the noble Frenchman
scornfully refused to open or even receive a special letter addressed to him by
the traitor Benedict Arnold, and he saw Lord Cornwallis surrender his sword, an
event which virtually closed the struggle.
"He used to tell how Lafayette once
tried to utilize the turkey buzzard as an article of food, when the comissary
department was reduced to desperation - "I had no absurd antipathy to the
American Turkey,"he said. "I
put him fairly on his merits - I roasted him, I baked him, I stewed him, I
fried him, but confidentially - he is no good!"
"When Lafayette re-visited America
in 1824 and was honored with ovations, such as only Washington could have
received, throughout the length and breadth of the land, my grandfather, then
67 years of age, left his quiet farm and took his eldest daughter Mrs. Sarah
Ambler and his youngest son, then quite a lad, to call upon him at
Richmond. They were cordially received
by the illustrious visitor; the young Beverly Lafayette Holcombe was duly
presented, and General Lafayette complimented this party by gracefully leading
out Mrs. Ambler for the first dance at the grand ball given in his honor. My grandfather was so delighted with his old
compatriot in arms, that he followed him all the way to New York, no easy
matter in those days of slow and difficult travel, and waved his last adieus to
him as the vessel which bore the nation's guest back to France drifted away
from the Battery.
When the war was over Col. Holcombe
devoted himself successfully to agricultural pursuits, and was particularly
interested in the rearing and improvement of blooded stock. His fine horses were raced upon many a race
track in eastern Virginia, such being the fashion among the first gentlemen of
that day. Although horse-racing,
card-playing and brandy drinking were the habits, we would now say the vice of
the best society of the period. My
grandfather never committed excesses of any kind. No persuasions could induce him, to the day of his death at the
age of 77 to deviate from his old army custom of taking three small glasses of
"grog" every day, one just before each meal.
One fine day somewhere in the eighties of
the last century young Col. Philemon Holcombe mounted his finest charger and
rode away to a neighboring county, intending to pay his addresses to a certain
young lady with whom he had formed a very pleasant acquaintance. There he met another young lady visiting the
one he went especially to see, who proved more fascinating than her hostess and
carried off the prize - thus unknowingly constituting herself my grandmother.
This lady, Lucy Maria Anderson, was the
medium through whom the royal blood of the House of Hapsburg is said to flow in
our veins. Somewhere in the first third
of the last century a distinguished couple exiled from Austria located at
Charles City, Va., Baron Hardimann and his beautiful and accomplished wife,
Henriette Marie, a niece of Maria Theresa, Empress of Austria and cousin of the
ill-fated Marie Antoinette of France.
The Baron had been involved in some revolutionary attempt, and the
punishment of death was commuted to banishment to America for life.
[Editors Note: Date: 11/30/99 9:35:36 PM Eastern Standard Time;
From: [email protected] (Terri Black) informant advises that the information
above connecting the Hardiman family with the Hapsburgs is incorrect and that
more accurate infomation can be found on The Poythress family wonderful web
site, with a chapter dedicated to the Hardyman's & their early roots in America,
all solidly documented.
http://www1.minn.net/~atims/hardyman.html
]
"A daughter of this couple named
after her mother but anglicized to Henrietta Maria married a Capt. Clarke of
the British Navy. A daughter of these
parties named Henrietta Elizabeth, was married to Beverly Anderson[editors
note: References in a descendants diary refer to him as "Beverly"
Anderson. I have heretofore assigned
him that middle name, but to date have found no other record substantiating it.
All VA records of note refer to him as Thomas.], whose name stands upon the old
records as "gentleman and landholder." Their daughter, Lucy Maria, became the bride of my
grandfather. The portrait of Henriette
Marie Hardimann, a fully detailed account of the family descent in all its
branches written by my aunt, Mrs. Sarah Ambler, and many valuable letters and
documents were destroyed by fire at the burning of Columbia. They were in the possession of Mrs. Lucy
Holcombe Pickens the wife of the Governor of South Carolina at that time and a
grand-daughter of Philemon and Lucy Maria Holcombe.
"My grandmother Holcombe was a lady
of fine physique and strongly marked character. She was a grand old-fashioned Virginia housekeeper and that means
a great deal to those acquainted with the social customs and immense
hospitalities of that period. She was a
superb manager of her servants, and we may add, sotto voce, of her
husband. She was such a srict disciplinarian
that she is said to have horse-whipped one of her sons for some act of
disobedience, when he was eighteen years of age. It is through her side of the house that the Rev. Dr. Samuel
Anderson of St. Louis was our cousin.
He was breakfasting with me in New Orleans when we received the terrible
news of President Lincoln's assassination, and we agreed in the opinion that it
would prove a great calamity to the Southern people. Grand-nephews of my grandmother were also Col. Beverly Jones (the
Beverly from his grandfather Beverly Anderson) who was killed in command of an
Alabama regiment, and his brother James Alfred Jones of Richmond, one of the
most distinguished lawyers in Virginia.
My grandfather was independent and his
wife was rich, so they lived in convivial, hospitable style. When one fortune was frittered away, Mrs. Holcombe
received another by the will of a bachelor brother. The old colonel was exceedingly popular and highly
respected. Some warm friends once
wished to have him nominated for Congress, but he declined the proposed honor,
saying that he had always been regarded by his friends and neighbors as an
honorable, respectable man, but if he entered the political arena, it would
soon be discovered that he was one of the greatest rascals in the state, a
satire upon the bitter political spirit which prevailed in what we call
"the good old times."
Hope you enjoyed
this! Sincerely, Warwick
Aiken

Notes for Sarah Clark:
Sarah Clark, the daughter of James Clark and Henritta Maria
Hardyman. Consider the will of Richard
Clarke of Raleigh Parish, Amelia County written on August 29, 1748 and probated
January 23, 1752 and filed on page 75 of Will Book One of Amelia County. In it he appoints Francis Anderson as one of
three executors. He also names Frances
Hardeman Clark the daughter of his brother James Clark in the will. These points are significant because this is
the sister in the Clark family of Sarah Clark the wife of Thomas Anderson of
Mecklenburg County. Thomas Anderson was
born in New Kent County Virginia and it is somewhere on the Goochland/Amelia
border that he met and married his wife Sarah Clark.

Dear Patrick,
As you can see from the attached gedcom file, I am a
descendent of James Anderson, the son of Thomas of Albemarle and Agnes
Gannaway. Our family still owns about a
thousand acres of James and Charles+'s land, including that at one time owned
by Peter Francisco.
The house James built before 1750 is still lived in and I have
a large number of old documents stored there.
I have sifted through them for about six months now while recovering
from an accident. I would appreciate
your educating me on what evidence you would like to see to place Sarah Weldon
Anderson as the daughter of Francis Anderson, to sort out the wives of James
and James, Jr., and to integrate the "Scott's Anderson"
connection. The father of Betty Anderson,
Robert BakerertBaker, is known for the Kentucky long rifle, and her
grandfather, John Thompson is the famous Presbyterian Minister who arranged
financial assistance for Samuel Davies education. Andersons kept records from
the meeting house which became Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1754 with Samuel
Davies as its first pastor. An Anderson
relative was clerk of the session from 1754 to 1954 when my grandfather Francis
Sidney Anderson resigned.
Thanking you so much for all you have done for Anderson
genealogy and hoping to meet you in person and take you out to dinner. Call anytime at 540-785-4226, my home in
Fredericksburg, VA.
I am sincerely,
Andrew S. Anderson, MD

I am seeking to
discover my Anderson ancestors in Virginia. The earliest Anderson that I have
is William 1734-1810, married Fanney___? William's son was Richard, 1761-1835.
I wonder if Thomas Anderson, c. 1661-1693 to 1758, the child of Robert Anderson
and Cecelia Massie, could be William's father? Richard's son Thomas, b. June
16, 1789 d 1857 married Chloe Glascock in Pittsylvania Co VA about 1815. Ring
any bells? Is the lineage like this:
1 Richard Anderson b.
1585 London England
2 Richard Anderson Jr.,
1619-1656
3 Robert Anderson
1640-1716

I think I just made a
boo boo and you might not get my letter of thanks. John and PHoebe Searcy had
children John Jr., Reuben, Bartlett, Richard, William, Timothy and daus.
Elizabeth, Mary, Susannah, Sarah. Bartlett and wife carried family names in his
line and Anderson was one of them. Lucy was a Williams and the Williams name is
carried by their children. How old were the daus when they were bound outd?
Phoebe Searcy must have been born 1694-1700. Thanks very much. Waunita

Hi Pat,
My Searcy ancestors
who first immigrated to Hanover Co, VA in the early 18th century intermarried
with the Anderson family but no one has ever been able to make the exact
connection. Bartlett Searcy who was born in 1725 has been said to have married
a Lucy Anderson but because there were Bartlett/Bartelott Andersons in Virgina
at the time I suspect that his mother could have instead been an Anderson.
Bartlett had brothers named Richard and Robert as well. His mother's name was
Phoebe and we have uncovered a record of a Phebe Anderson who was bound to
Anthony Winston in 1707 that would have been the right age. Some of us believe
that Bartlett's wife was probably a Williams. Any suggestions would be
appreciated by me and dozens of other Searcy reasearchers who have been working
on this for 30 yrs!!
Thank you,
Dennis Kemper
